Prevent opening of the dialog in Angular Dialog component

27 Apr 20248 minutes to read

You can prevent opening of the dialog by setting the beforeOpen event argument cancel value to true.
In the following sample, the success dialog is opened when you enter the username value with minimum 4 characters. Otherwise, it will not be opened.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { DialogModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-popups'




import { Component, ViewChild, OnInit, ElementRef } from '@angular/core';
import { DialogComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-popups';
import { EmitType } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

@Component({
imports: [
        
		DialogModule
    ],
